What is Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor Heating systems deliver warmth beneath the floor to efficiently warm a room.
An underfloor heating system comes with many benefits. In general these are; more comfort, less airborne dust and allergens & the ability to furnish with freedom.
Water Underfloor Heating systems reduce running costs and carbon emissions. Getting the best results from any heat source.
Radiators vs Underfloor Heating Comparison
- Underfloor heating can provide the same or higher heat output than radiators.
- Water Underfloor heating uses 35-45°C instead of 60-80°C Radiator water temperatures.
- Lower temperatures reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
- Installing Underfloor heating will: reduce draughts and allergen movement and allow more interior design options.

Electric vs Underfloor Heating Comparison
- Both Electric and Water Underfloor Heating systems are popular choices for retrofit installations.
- Electric Underfloor Heating is useful for a small area installation (small bathroom). But, much more expensive to run.
- Water Underfloor Heating is more suited to a larger room or area, and 60% less to run than electric.
Water UFH
- 60% less to run than electric underfloor heating
- Easy to install, no digging up floors
- Reliable long term use, long guarantees.
Electric UFH
- Useful for small areas.
- Expensive to run.
- Certain systems have a shorter guarantee and more likely to fail.
Running costs
Underfloor heating uses much lower temperatures than radiators. Only needing water at 35-45°C, saving you huge amounts on your utility bills and ready for a net-zero future.
The Best Results From Any Heat Source.
Water Underfloor heating systems will give the most efficient results from any heat source. Due to less energy being used to produce low water temperatures 35-45°C. Perfect for any boiler or Ground Source or Air Source Heat Pump.
